Mazi Ogaranya makes money from government and private contracts. As a registered government contractor and member of a political party, he collects 'mobilisation fees' and then abandons the contracts. He also owns several companies employing beautiful girls permanently at his disposal, and has several wives. But his life is disrupted when one of these wives turns out to be a witch, and one of his sons, a thief in his own right. Ogali is one of the most prolific, versatile and successful popular writers in Nigeria. His works include: My Daughter (of Onitsha Market Literature Fame); Coal City; and The Juju Priest.
This study about political opposition in Cameroon is of contemporary relevance on a continent where dictatorship has been able to develop multiple means of co-opting, neutralising and frustrating forms of political opposition in order to institutionalise apathy and impunity in the face of public expectation. Although the Cameroonian opposition parties have manifestly failed to construct the necessary unity and solidarity to confront the sterile rhetoric of the RDPC party in power, this book posits the argument that post-colonial governments have not demonstrated any real will to construct a level playing field - even though they go on congratulating themselves for having delivered 'advanced democracy'. At a time when Africans are becoming more and more disillusioned with the promises of a 'second liberation', the contributors of this book address the difficulties confronting multiparty democracy in Cameroon; and thus draw the lessons that must be learned in order to reinstate hope in the political process amongst ordinary Africans.
